The Effect of Outflow Launching Radial Efficiency of Accretion Disk on the Shape of Emission-Line Profiles by Mohammad Hassan Naddaf

“…By exploring different radial scenarios of disk mass loss behavior, we uncover connections between outflow radial efficiency and emission line profiles, particularly for lowly ionized lines. Our findings reveal that while the observed shape of broad emission lines is partially influenced by the radial behavior of the disk outflow, it ultimately depends more critically on the physical conditions of the clouds and the specific approach adopted regarding the emissivity for their contribution to the line formation.…”
